I hear that there's one MobileRead member who counts the credit three times 
1. Money off the thing bought
2. Free ebooks
3. Offset against the cost of prime membership |
Ben Franklin said: "A penny saved is a penny earned".
So go ahead, count it twice.
After all, the first two events are unrelated (it's not like you're getting a credit for purchasing ebooks only). And airline frequent flyer programs work this way, you consider the free flight (or upgrade or...) to have some value.
And, number 3 above is just a way of accounting for the Prime membership. Since I'm out of the US, I don't have the luxury of streaming Amazon video (yes, I have a VPN but the speeds are too slow), so I have to see if my Prime membership cost lives up to the value, especially as I got the membership for 'free' as part of buying the Fire Phone so, oh so, cheaply.
